I noticed that the device - /dev/hda6 in my case - on which my remaster was mounted was mounted with nodev. I tried remounting with


mount -oremount,dev /dev/hda6

before chroot'ing and apt-get update'ing and the problem disappeared.

I can confirm that this took care of the problem on a v3.7 12-08-04 remaster as well.
